===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
WELCOME TO FASTYPE -- TYPING TUTORIAL FOR WINDOWS
This package contains the FasType Typing Tutorial for Windows
(Version 5.0), by Trendtech Corporation. This document contains
only a brief description of the package and its features, along
with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed documentation
is included in the package, but it is in archived form, and is more
easily read after installation.
Please read the file named README.1ST for more details about
installation and use of FasType.
If you've ever wished you could type like the pros, handle the keyboard
deftly like a delicate instrument, and become more productive at your
PC, then FasType is the program for you.
FasType is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
all features of the program that you need to perform a full evaluation
of its functionality. Modules that are only available with the
registered version include the TYPING HISTORY pringing module and the
PC-AT Style keyboard display; otherwise the program is not crippled in
any way. You may use it for up to 30 days, without charge (see
LICENSE.DOC for more details). If you like the program, and wish to
continue its use after this evaluation period, you are required to pay
for the program (see REGISTER.TXT for more details). Any fee you may
have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this
evaluation version was a fee for their copying and distribution services,
rather than a payment for continued use of the program.

===== Installation =====================================
**** INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ****
If you downloaded FasType from a BBS or on-line service, then
you have to first un-zip the file into a temp directory then run
SETUP from the temporary directory.
If you're installing from either a sub-directory, a
temporary directory, or from a distribution floppy, or from a CD-
ROM, simply perform the following steps:
o Bring up Windows
o Run SETUP using either the Windows File Manager, or
the File/Run... menu selection. If you're running
from the File Manager, select the PATH where
FasType's SETUP.EXE program resides, and click on
it to start the SETUP process.
o From the FILE/RUN menu, type A:SETUP or B:SETUP or
whichever floppy or CD-ROM address the FasType
files reside.
o Follow the instructions as you proceed through the
install process
At the end of installation, the setup program will create a
Program Group with several icons and prompt you for selections of
what to do next.
IMPORTANT NOTE: FasType CANNOT be installed onto and run from
floppies!
TO RUN FASTYPE:
From the FasType Program Group, double-click on the ICON that
says FASTYPE.
WHAT TO DO NEXT:
The Title Window will appear and stay in view while FasType
loads its tables and auxiliary files. Next, the Shareware
Information screen will appear. Please read it carefully; FasType
is distributed on a try-before-you-buy basis, and you have 30 days
to evaluate the program. Click on OK to get past this screen.
IMPORTANT NOTE ** IMPORTANT NOTE ** IMPORTANT NOTE
====================================================
ONCE YOU'VE EXCEEDED THE EVALUATION PERIOD, THE
STARTUP DISPLAY AND ALL SHAREWARE INFORMATION
SCREENS WILL PERSIST ON THE DISPLAY FOR LONGER AND
LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. HOWEVER, YOU WILL STILL BE
ABLE TO USE FASTYPE AND ALL AVAILABLE FEATURES!
PLEASE READ THE OPENING AND CLOSING SHAREWARE
INFORMATION SCREENS FOR MORE DETAILS.
====================================================
SELECTING MENU ITEMS:
Choose a Typing Drill or Exercise from the SKILL MENU, then
click the mouse on START TYPING, or -- more preferably, type
<Alt>+<s> to select the menu item START TYPING from the keyboard.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO:
For DRILLS: Place the fingers of each hand on the home keys
(ASDF JKL;) and type each letter as you are prompted for it. The
program selects the letters randomly. When the drill is finished
your WPM and other statistics will be displayed on a typing
statistics screen.
For EXERCISES: lines of text will be displayed above the
screen keyboard; type each character pointed to by the character
pointer (there are four to choose from) and when you reach the
paragraph marker symbol or end of the line, press the enter key, or
the space bar. When you finish typing the exercise your WPM and
other statistics will be displayed.
To STOP TYPING, you can press the ESCAPE key anytime, click
the mouse on the STOP TYPING menu item, or type <Alt>+<s> again.
SYNC-CHEK
FasType has "SyncChek". As you follow the cursor while typing
exercise lines, sometimes you can be "off-by-one". That is, the
letters you are typing don't match the letter over the cursor -
you're "off-by-one", - either ahead or behind. SyncChek will solve
that problem. This feature will detect that you're typing "off-by-
"one" and adjust the cursor's position accordingly, either one ahead
or one behind, thus putting you back on track. Your keystroke
penalty for being "off-by-one" is at most two keystrokes instead
of the usual six or seven.
